The Samsung Galaxy A25 5G is a mid-range Android smartphone designed, developed, and marketed by Samsung Electronics as a part of its Galaxy A series. It was announced on 11 December 2023 and was released along with the Samsung Galaxy A15 5 days later. ^{[3] [4] [5] [6]}

It is Samsung's A2x smartphone of 2024 that sits in between the A15 and A35. Starting from this release, only a 5G model would be released with its predecessor being the last A2x model to be released with 4G connectivity only.

Design

The display is made of simple tempered glass. The back panel is made of plastic, and the sides are made of aluminium. The design of the Galaxy A25 5G looks almost similar to its predecessor, but the rear panel is now completely flat, and the transition between the rear panel and the camera unit is smoother. The Galaxy A25 5G however, unlike many point out, does not feature an IPxy rating for dust or water resistance due to bad quality control, and issues regarding the back panel of the phone detaching alongside the glass screen being decently soft.

There is a USB-C connector, speaker and microphone on the bottom and, depending on the version, slot for 1 SIM card and microSD memory card up to 1 TB or hybrid slot for 2 SIM cards. The second microphone is located on top. On the right side are the volume buttons and the smartphone lock button combined with a fingerprint sensor. It is also the last A2x device to include a 3.5mm headset jack. ^[7]

The smartphone is sold in 4 colors, Blue Black, Blue, Light Blue and Yellow. ^[8]
